I've wanted one of these for years. Should I get a Schofield, Webley, or something else? If you've got one, please post pics! |

Hallooo BuddyLee, I have an Uberti Schofield in .45 Colt. Great gun - I love it. For CAS purposes, the Webley, though neat, won't be of use to you. If you find an ASM (Armi San Marco) Schofield - stay far FAR AWAY from it - do NOT buy, no matter great the price may be. The ASM's are ALL JUNK!!!!! Beretta, the new owners of Uberti, have now come out with a copy of the S&W New Model #3....its looks great, and I am jones'in for one, but I have yet to actually hold one or put a few rounds down range with one. I do have a brace of original S&W New Model #3's - they are both from circa 1878, one is nickel, the other blue. They are both of course black powder only, and in .44 Russian. SHooting them is a hoot - and even today, they are still more accurate than me  .The S&W NM #3's fit great in my hand - real schweeeeet!! I hope this helps you some. |

I've been keeping my eyes open for a Schofield 5 1/2" in .45 LC.. only seen a couple and they were big bucks. Anyone here have a Webley? I've read that some people have those set up to shoot .45 ACP with moon clips. Also interested in the H&K Sportsman, but the only guy I know who has or had one said they were very prone to breakage. |

If you want to shoot gunfighter style (one gun per hand), you might want to check to make sure your thumb reaches the hammer for cocking singlehanded. I can with my Colts, but not with my Schofields. Also, reproductions are not too good for shooting with black powder as the tolerances are usually too tight. |
